Hits with daft lyrics

[melrose40yarder]

Take your seaside arms true spandau ballet.

 

[Edghill OG]

I am the eggman.... I am the walrus

 

[doots]

I'm as serious as cancer when I say rhythm is a dancer.

(City song version is much better of course)

 

[meltonblue]

As soon as I saw the thread title "Have A Nice Day" came.to my head. I've never understood this line

Swim in the ocean, that be my dish
I drive around all day and kill processed fish

It was that one and Mr Writer that came to mind for us.

Funny this thread comes up, yesterday I was listening to this and realised how fucking weird the lyrics are for the first time.

Nirvana – Drain You

According to Kurt, this song was written about a dorky, old-fashioned kind of love. One of his favorite tracks, it was performed in most concerts ever since its composition up

genius.com

One baby to another says: "I'm lucky to have met you"
I don't care what you think unless it is about me
It is now my duty to completely drain you
I travel through a tube and end up in your infection


Chew your meat for you,
Pass it back and forth,
In a passionate Kiss,
From my mouth to yours.
I like you.

One of Nirvana’s most popular songs.

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

“Hey-eh!… Hey-eh!…”
Repeat till end of Rock and Roll Part 2, Gary Glitter. I've never been able to work the lyrics out. I think there may be a coded message there somewhere.

 

[City Hobgoblin]

I am the eggman.... I am the walrus

The Egg Man was Eric Burdon.

 

[talkativesprout]

I never understood what this was about, maybe I'm fik.

Let’s Jump the Broomstick.

Well, come-a little baby let's jump the broomstick
Come on let's tie a knot
Come-a little baby let's jump the broomstick
Come on let's tie a knot
Father don't like it, my brother don't like it
My sister don't like it, my mother don't like it
Come-a little baby let's jump the broomstick
Come on let's tie a knot

Goin' to Alabama back from Texarkana
Goin' all round the world
I'm goin' to Alabama back from Texarkana
Goin' all round the world
My father don't like it, my brother don't like it
My sister don't like it, my mother don't like it
Come-a little baby let's jump the broomstick
Come on let's tie a knot

Come-a little baby, don't-a mean-a maybe
Let's settle down
Come-a little baby, don't-a mean-a maybe
Let's settle down
My father don't like it, my brother don't like it
My sister don't like it, my mother don't like it
Come-a little baby let's jump the broomstick
Come on let's tie a knot

Well-a come-a little baby let's jump the broomstick

Come on let's tie a knot
Come-a little baby let's jump the broomstick
Come on let's tie a knot
My father don't like it, my brother don't like it
My sister don't like it, my mother don't like it
Come-a little baby let's jump the broomstick
Come on let's tie a knot

I'm goin' to Alabama back from Texarkana
Goin' all round the world
I'm goin' to Alabama back from Texarkana
Goin' all round the world
My father don't like it, my brother don't like it
My sister don't like it, my mother don't like it
Come-a little baby let's jump the broomstick
Come on let's tie a knot

I remember my mam calling living together without being married, "living over the brush" so perhaps has similar origins
